Leafcutter John creates an immersive audiovisual experience using a light controlled musical interface that he has designed and developed. The sounds produced are strongly related to the performer’s actions and are all produced in real-time.

“One of the bourgeoning stars of post-electronica” (The Wire)

Brassica is music by UK producer Michael Anthony Wright. His music distills a storied musical past; capturing Balearic house, real electro, italo disco, new wave, psych, synth music, techno and rave nostalgia; without sounding consigned to any part of it.

An oscillating journey of analog synths, guitars, effects, vocals and enchanting flutes. Influenced by the now, this piece takes in mood changes of the musician, the audience, the local environment and the ever changing elements.
